Abstract

An effective herd health program fulfills the same goals, regardless of the herd size and species. As a veterinarian, our goal is to educate clients and producers on how to implement a working management program that meets the needs of the animals and owners. Cost and ease of implementation are the 2 factors that are of greatest concern in any herd. While herds vary from small backyard herds to large commercial herds, the goal should be the same-maximize production, efficiency, and profits while minimizing disease, medications given, and involuntary culls. Large herds have different challenges due to less single-animal attention and a need for a total herd approach.
